WEAVING: THE DELECTABLE SARI
2011 Maiwa Textile Symposium Workshop
Jane Stafford
$395 (Includes $90 Lab Fee) Four full days
October 17 - 20 (Mon - Thu) 10am - 4pm
Maiwa Loft - Net Loft Granville Is., Vancouver, Canada Class Limit 12
Our course description comes straight from Salt Spring Island weaving instructor Jane Stafford ...
"In January of this year I became one of the luckiest women in the world because I got to spend almost 1 month travelling in India with Charllotte Kwon and some of her endlessly energetic staff.
"While there, we had delicious food. True. But the greatest feast was for the eyes. Everywhere I looked I saw magnificent coloured and textured saris. These extraordinary pieces have inspired the menu of fabrics in this workshop.
"The main course will be supplementary warps used to create patterned borders on a bed of plain weave. The stripe is a side dish combined with double weave and the whole meal is garnished with sequins.
"Come spend four days discovering one of India’s greatest delicacies... the Sari.
"Indian sweets will be served daily, mmmmmmm good!”
Students will need to have solid basic weaving technique and an eight-shaft table loom for the workshop. Warps will be prepared in advance and sent to the students before the workshop. During the workshop students will migrate from loom to loom creating samples of six different fabrics. Students will also receive all their weft materials so that bobbins can be prepared before the workshop.
